Description
Be sure to check out our Cucumber Growing Guide to learn more about how you can successfully grow cucumbers at home.
Monoecious cucumber plants have both male and female flowers present on the same plant. Female flowers are the ones that will produce fruits. Both hybrid and open-pollinated cucumber plants can be monoecious. Monoecious cucumber varieties tend to have a longer harvest window. Cucumbers perform best when direct-seeded. They do not perform well when transplanted. They may be direct-seeded by hand or with a walk-behind seeder. To obtain a good stand of plants, we suggest planting Seeds every 6-8″ inches and thinning to one seed per foot.
Cucumbers are a vining plant and grow best when provided a trellised structure to climb. Use a strong trellis that is well-supported with deeply driven stakes. Keeping plants off the ground will reduce the potential of plant diseases like mildews and other diseases that can result from excess plant moisture. Trellising will also keep the fruits cleaner and save time with harvest and processing, in addition to reducing fruit discoloration or yellowing from sitting on the soil surface.

Growing Information
These Cucumbers are growing great for me. I planted them and the seeds soon germinated and grew well and the plants/vines are producing good Cucumbers. I am well satisfied with them.
I love this cucumber. I was a little apprehensive about dedicating the space in my garden rather than just going with my tried and true National Pickling. This hybrid was my most productive, most heat resistant, and longest lasting into July. In addition, none of them turned yellow or curled when the vines began to get old regardless of the size and as usual I missed a few and let them get pretty big. The fruits were consistently dark and straight, beautiful cucumber. No disease or pest problems. I will definitely plant again next year.

Love these pickling cukes! Very productive, tasty, easy to grow and have made fantastic sweet pickles from them!
I ordered these for the 2024 season but lost the packet. Fast forward to mid April 2025, when I sowed about 20 seeds. Germination rate was 98% and I cannot keep up with harvesting less than 60 days later. Prolific.
